Governor please stay

Chapter 555: Those with deep cravings have shallow secrets
Liu Yishou's "good judgment" is not only well known to his subordinates and generals, but even his enemies have heard about it.The quick and decisive decision-making at the moment is incomparable to ordinary people, and there are no similar figures in this era.

If you really want to find a reference, it may be somewhat similar to Chai Rong at the end of the Five Dynasties in history.

After receiving the ball kicked by Xiao Jian and Huang Fajiu, Liu Yishou replied almost without thinking.

Liu Yishou sent Yang Xiuzhi to Poyang County to tell Xiao Jian and others what he meant: the chieftains of Jiangzhou have been "enlisted" by the imperial court, and I will try my best to appease these people.You can rest assured that you can stay in Poyang County, Huang Fajiu will retreat.

As for Huang Fajiu's side, Liu Yishou sent a sergeant who couldn't lobby to his camp, and then told Huang Fajiu: If Poyang County can be captured, you can take it yourself.If you can't fight, I will ask Yu Xiaoqing to help you, but the military merit will be counted separately.Success or failure depends on your own ability, I don't care.

After receiving Liu Yishou's reply, Huang Fajiu immediately led his troops to Poyang County and organized troops to besiege the city again.Then he sent someone to send a letter back to Bashan County, asking his father Huang Ting to lead troops to reinforce him, bring everything he can bring, and put the whole army on top!

Liu Yishou handles Jiangzhou's affairs with ease, and even has spare energy.He used a lot of free time to read Han Feizi's related works in the study of the Pancheng government office.

Such as "Lonely Anger", "Five Beetles", "Shuo Lin", "Shuo Dian" and so on, I have watched it dozens of times, and I have a lot of insights, and my life is very fulfilling.

However, Yang Xiuzhi found that although Liu Yishou paid great attention to his studies and read books when he was not dealing with government affairs, his old smile was gone.

Without comparison, there is no identification. Even Gaohuan, who traveled so far in the last Northern Expedition, did not look like he is now, with a sad face on his face from time to time.

It just fell into the night, Liu Yishou put down the scroll in his hand, and was alone in a daze in front of the oil lamp.

Yang Xiuzhi finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked over cautiously and asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to see a lady in your family who will go to Jiangzhou, or do you want to find some decent and interesting young ladies in Jiangzhou to warm the bed?"

"Do I look like I'm thinking of a woman?"

Liu Yishou asked inexplicably.

"That's not it."

Yang Xiuzhi will not speak out his true thoughts, in fact, that is what he thinks.

For example, during the last Northern Expedition, there was Gao Huan's daughter-in-law Gao Ling. Her tall and graceful figure made her look interesting when she was doing things in bed.In fact, it did greatly alleviate Liu Yishou's anguish and loneliness when he led the troops out.

"Compared with animals, humans are actually inferior in many aspects. Humans are not as fast as tigers and leopards on land, not as fierce as them, not as comfortable as fish in water, and cannot fly freely in the air like birds.

But why is man the spirit of all things, but not the beast? "

Liu Yishou asked with a soft sigh.

Yang Xiuzhi's skill in flattering horses is good, and his articles are well written, but his knowledge is far inferior to that of Wang Wei and Chen Yuankang.There is no way for him to answer this kind of question.

"Please enlighten me, my lord." Yang Xiuzhi folded his sleeves and bowed deeply.

Liu Yishou hurriedly helped him up and said: "The reason why people are human is because they are speculative, know shame, understand right and wrong, and understand good and evil. Everything we do is because we practice these things.

Otherwise, even if it is rich in clothes and fine food, it is nothing more than a human face and a beast's heart, let alone mention it.

But in today's world, black and white are reversed, right and wrong are not distinguished, morality is degraded, and rituals and music are broken.

I saw what Xiao Lun's family did. The son killed the father, and the father killed the son. In order to survive and gain glory, they could do whatever they could. The things they did were not very human.

In today's world like Xiao Jian, there are many people who sell their fathers for glory. Such people cannot be killed.After killing, there will be successors.

How to get rid of the turbid and promote the clear, and recast the spirit of the Chinese people?I have no idea.

To be honest, it is not difficult to flatten Jiangzhou. Yu Xiaoqing, Huang Fajiu and others are all under my control, but the strategy of dividing and wooing is not worth mentioning.

The difficult thing is to win people's hearts and educate them.

Being honest and knowing etiquette is only a necessary condition, and it doesn't mean that people's hearts will become better after they become rich.I originally planned to unify the world in the Northern Expedition in the future, but at that time, after the unification of the world, if the world is still like Xiao Lun's family.

What is the use of this world?
How can I work so hard for the happiness of these scumbags?
When I think about this, I just feel that the energy in my life is limited, as weak as the light of a candle, and it is very precious to illuminate the people around me. How can I talk about saving the suffering?
Thinking hard about ways to save the world but getting nothing, so I sigh. "

Liu Yishou said with a sigh.

In the past, he didn't know why he traveled here, and he even felt a little disgusted, thinking that maybe he came here just for a leisurely walk.

However, after he experienced many things, he gradually understood what he wanted to do and what he wanted to do.

Would it be considered a success after unifying the world?
He had thought so before.

But since he came to Jiangzhou, seeing what Xiao Lun's family did, and seeing the simple folk customs of Jiangzhou that is almost like a wild beast, Liu Yishou felt that if the world could only be unified on the surface under his leadership, then it would be impossible. It's better that someone Liu doesn't come.

Maybe if Yang Jian and Li Er clean up the situation, the ending would be better.

Really do not rule out the possibility!After all, they have handed over their transcripts, and Liu Yishou is still taking the exam.

"My lord, there is a way that there must be a way for a car to reach the mountain. Now that I think about it so much, I can't do anything. What are you trying to do?"

Yang Xiuzhi comforted in a low voice.He knew what the problem was, but he couldn't give an answer.

This situation is the same as cancer patients know that they have a terminal illness, but do not know how to cure it.

"Forget it, let's go and rest. After dealing with Xiao Lun's problem, we will march into Linchuan County and open up the connection between Jiangzhou and Jin'an County. At that time, we can join forces with Yu Wentai and concentrate our forces to go south to Guangzhou!"

Liu Yishou waved his hand, he didn't want to continue talking about those heavy topics, now that the military defeat of the domestic powerful chieftains and all sides is an obvious issue, it can be dealt with as long as it is done step by step.

What is difficult to deal with is always the human heart!
When there is no threat from the north, and when the economy in the south is greatly developed, who has the mind to continue the Northern Expedition? What is the significance of the Northern Expedition?

Since there is such a large wasteland in the south that can be reclaimed, and since Liu Yishou himself is very capable and can manage the south well, why did he go to the Northern Expedition?

Life is only a few decades, wouldn't it be good to lie down and enjoy it in Jiangnan?When all your subordinates think so, do you go to the Northern Expedition alone with a knife in your hand?
Seeing the stupid and wicked Xiao Lun's family, Liu Yishou worried that he and his descendants would become the next Xiao Lun in the future.

"My lord, the grain transport fleet has docked at the riverside ferry, and is now unloading."

Hu Luxian walked into the study and reported to Liu Yishou, but felt that the atmosphere here was a bit heavy.

"You go and deal with it. It's just a small matter. You will be the one who leads the army alone in the future."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said, he couldn't get up to these chores.

"No, my lord, this subordinate wants to say that the old gentleman named Zu Ting has come and brought a box of printed books to my lord."

Hu Luxian said a little excitedly.

Reading is good, and he will realize the beauty of reading. After reading the book, his mind will be clearer, and he will know what can be done and what cannot be done.

"Please! That's all, I'll pick it up myself."

Zu Ting is over 80 years old this year, and this time he came with the grain fleet, and it was definitely not for reminiscing about the old days.

Liu Yishou brought Yang Xiuzhi and others to the shore, and saw Zu Ding standing in front of a strange-looking boat with a huge paddle wheel at the stern!

"My father built a thousand-mile ship back then, and the old man has ordered people to restore it these days. This time, I came to Jiangzhou specially to show the governor a look."

Zu Dian straight to the point told Liu Yishou of his intention to come.

"Thousand-mile boat, interesting!"

Liu Yishou saw the huge paddle wheel at the stern, nodded slightly and smiled, but was puzzled in his heart, wondering what was so strange about this thing.

Paddle boats are not a new thing. Soochow already had them during the Three Kingdoms period. Of course, paddle boats are relatively small in size, and it looks a little scary like this one.

"There is a device inside the boat that allows many people to step on the pedals and work together. If the boat is going backwards, it will be much faster than ordinary tank boats. Even if it is going with the wind, it can also hang the sails."

Zu Tie said confidently.His father Zu Chongzhi tried to sail this ship back then, but unfortunately the Southern Qi court didn't show any interest, and then he was thrown aside.In the Nanliang period, Xiao Yan didn't even mention it.

The fact that the ship can be restored so quickly is because the propulsion device inside was well preserved at the beginning, and this thousand-mile ship is newly built.

Liu Yishou had never eaten pork but had seen pigs run, so he immediately understood what it was all about.

Although no steam engine was used, Zu Chongzhi actually built a mechanical transmission device such as a gearbox, so that many people can step on it together to increase the output power, and then the boat can drive such a huge paddle wheel.

In the era when the metallurgy and forging industries were not yet developed, it was very unreliable to engage in propeller propulsion.The paddle boat is already the ceiling!

I have to say that this thing still has a bit of gold content, and it also has some military uses.

"It's windy along the river, Mr. Zu, please come into the study."

Liu Yishou was very moved, the old man came to Jiangzhou at the age of eighty, it must be something important, not just for this "thousand-mile ship".

Everyone came to the government office study together, Yang Xiuzhi and the others put the box containing the books aside, and retreated out with interest, leaving only Liu Yishou and Zu Min.

"I am old, and now my wishes are basically fulfilled by the King of Wu, and I don't have much nostalgia for the world. Under the nine springs, I have an account with my father, so I have nothing to do."

Zu Ting smiled heartily, it is difficult to pretend that the emotions on a person's body cannot be seen by others.Liu Yishou understood that the long-lived old man in front of him really looked like he had no regrets in his life.

"Please teach me, Mr. Zu."

Liu Yishou folded his sleeves and bowed deeply to Zu Jun.

If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, people come to you if you have nothing to do, and they don't ask you to do something, why bother to go to the study in the middle of the night to talk?
"King Wu's intelligence is beyond the reach of mortals. The old man just has something from the heart to say to the king of Wu. When a person is about to die, his words are good, and the old man has no scruples. The king of Wu just treats the nonsense of the old man when he is dying. Don't worry about it. Take it to heart."

Zu Tie took out a book from the box and handed it to Liu Yishou.This is a block-printed book, which was made into a thread-bound book with a "protective box" based on Liu Yishou's suggestion.

A book is a pile of paper and a wooden box. After reading it on weekdays, I put it in the wooden box for protection.

The word "Yi Yi" is written on the cover of this book.

"My late father's understanding of the "Book of Changes" is here. This box of books is all my late father's works. King Wu can read Yi Yi first if he has time."

Zu Tun pushed the book box in front of Liu Yishou.

"I will definitely read this book when I have time. Mr. Zu, please explain directly why you came here."

Liu Yishou put the "Yi Yi" aside.

"The Yellow River comes out of the river map, and Luoshui comes out of the Luo book. Since King Wen comprehended the river map and Luo book, he realized the "Book of Changes" in prison and passed it on to later generations.

This is the love of heaven, the sages understand the will of heaven, and leave a legacy for future generations. "

Zu Tun said politely, Liu Yishou nodded slightly, waiting for the next sentence.

"Hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period all comprehend Hetu Luoshu. Hundreds of flowers bloom and hundreds of schools contend. At the end of the struggle, hundreds of schools flow into the sea. Because God has the virtue of good life, the world cultivates virtue to be blessed by God. Haotian does not care about human affairs, so there is It is said that the Son of Heaven replaces Tianmu and guards."

Hearing this, Liu Yishou continued to nod.

"The ability of the Son of Heaven to command the world lies in Tao and virtue. Tao is the exterior, virtue is the interior, and morality is the foundation of human beings. People without morality are no different from animals.

A Taoist acts on behalf of the heavens, makes up for the deficiency and damages the excess, and benefits all the people; a virtuous person sets an example for the world, forges rituals and music to set rules, and benefits all generations.

The Son of Heaven is immoral and immoral. Naturally, he cannot take the place of Tian Mu. He should abdicate and make way for the virtuous. This is where the virtuous live. "

Liu Yishou continued to nod, he already knew what Zu Tie wanted to say.

"What is virtue?"

Liu Yishou asked in a deep voice.

"Heaven has the virtue of loving life. If the Son of Heaven can act on behalf of the heavens and let more people feel that heaven loves the world, then they are virtuous and they are practicing the truth.

If the ministers laugh and the common people cry, it is senseless.

Since the Son of Heaven cannot do justice for the heavens, no one cares if the Son of Heaven is virtuous or not. "

Zu Ting said meaningfully.

"Mr. Xie Zu explained the confusion, the way is as simple as it is, today is really taught."

Liu Yishou clasped his sleeves together, bowed deeply to his ancestors, sincerely convinced.

"Although King Wu has not yet guarded Tian Mu, if he can take back the place where Hetu Luoshu came out, he will be closer to the glory of Haotian, and it will be easier to comprehend the secrets of heaven.

Come to think of it, even if he wasn't the Son of Heaven at that time, he should be very close to the Son of Heaven. "

Zu Ting, who is in his 80s, has no scruples in speaking, and no one will do anything to him.

"How to comprehend the secrets of heaven? Please give me your advice, sir."

Liu Yishou asked earnestly.

"King Wu is amazingly talented, benevolent and loving, and doesn't need to be reminded by the old man. Just be aware that those who have deep desires have shallow secrets, and those who have too much greed will be abandoned by the heavens. That's all the old man said."

After saying this, Zu Tie seemed to have fulfilled all his wishes and had no regrets.He closed his eyes and lowered his head as if he was asleep.

Liu Yishou thought he was too tired and fell asleep.After a while, I found that Zu Tie seemed to be completely motionless.He went up to touch the opponent's wrist, and sure enough, he had no pulse.

"Mr. Zu, I will never forget your teaching."

Liu Yishou knelt down and made a big salute to Zu Yun.
